Biography
He graduated from high school in the village of Myakit ( Magadan region ). He graduated from the radio engineering faculty of the Moscow Energy Institute ( 1961 ), the philosophical faculty of the University of Marxism-Leninism ( 1965 ), worked as an engineer. Candidate of technical sciences, specializing in electronic systems and mathematical linguistics. He worked in a research institute by specialty, led a research laboratory.
He made his debut in 1964 with two stories: “Crater” and “The Return of Sukharev”. For a quarter century, he wrote about forty stories, several short stories and two novels. He considered himself a student of Leonid Leonov , whom he had met repeatedly in the 1960-1970s and from whom he received a recommendation to the Writers' Union ; subsequently said: “I am being enrolled in the“ school of Ephraim, ”I do not agree with this, but I do not mind” [1] . As V. A. Shnirelman noted, already in the 1970s. Shcherbakov developed a specific direction of “Slavic fiction” based on plots from “the history of the ancient Slavs, which went far beyond all acceptable scientific hypotheses”, and these works of Shcherbakov received “all possible support in the Komsomol Central Committee , where they saw a saving ideology that could captivate young people " [2] .
Since 1976, a journalist, was the deputy editor-in-chief of the journal “ Technique - Youth ”, then replaced Yury Medvedev as head of the science fiction editorial office of the publishing house “ Young Guard ”. During the “perestroika” years, Shcherbakov, along with Yuri Medvedev, was criticized as one of the ideological leaders in the defeat of Soviet science fiction of the 1960s and 70s.
Since 1981, a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR , since 1992 a member of the Union of Writers of Russia . In the late 1980s, he moved away from science fiction, carried away by studying the mysteries of the past, including Atlantis and the Etruscans . He published a number of books about the secrets and mysteries of disappeared civilizations, interpreting many anomalous phenomena (the civilization of winged snakes, alien weapons, the elixir of immortality, the magic of David Copperfield ).
For the script of the documentary about the biofield “The Invisible Life of the Forest” (Kiev studio of popular science films), he was awarded a prize at the XI Ecofilm-84 World Film Festival in Ostrava.
Corresponding member of the International Academy of Informatization , since 1998 President of the Moscow Club of Secrets.
Research and Creativity
Shcherbakov published a number of works in the field of non-academic historical theories and concepts.
Atlantology
In 1986-1991 he was fond of the search for the legendary Atlantis . In the works “All about Atlantis” and “Where to look for Atlantis?” He dated the death of Atlantis by the time of the formation of the giant mammoth cemetery in Siberia in the valley of the Berelyoh River. In his opinion, the mammoths died as a result of a giant mudflow after the fall of the giant asteroid into the Atlantic, which he called “Saissky” in memory of the message of the Saisian priests about the heavenly fire, which Plato leads in the dialogue “ Timaeus ”. He wrote two stories on this topic: “Far Atlantis” and “The Golden Chamber of Poseidon”, published under the same cover with the book of J.-I. Cousteau on the same topic.
Genetic roots of Russians and other ethnic groups
Studying the "meta-history", I came to the conclusion that the genetic roots of the Old Russian and other Slavic ethnic groups date back to the Yaphet tribes of the Caucasus. The events that took place in antiquity in the Caucasus are “directly related to the topic of the origin of Russia. After all, these tribes eventually merged into the very clans of the glades, which the Russian chronicle speaks of. ” [3]
Localization of Asgard
Shcherbakov was engaged in the historical localization of Indo-European myths, looking for the ancestral home of Indo-Europeans . He worked mainly in line with the Kurgan , Anatolian and Armenian hypotheses, exploring the roots of the Indo-Europeans in Central Asia during the Ancient World .
In 1989, he published a small book “Where did the heroes of eddic myths live?” [4] with a review of the doctor of historical sciences, professor A. F. Smirnov [5] . The latter was also the editor of the essay “Asgard and the Van”, another of the author’s works in the collection Millennium Roads.
The TASS report (May 1989 ) about the discovery of Asgard was published earlier than the release of these works and was informational in nature.
Based on direct instructions from the founder of Scandinavian mythology, Snorri Sturluson [6] , Shcherbakov suggested that in ancient times the ancestors of the northern Indo-Europeans came from southwestern Mongolia through Central Asia (the Ustyurt plateau region ), then went down to Kopetdag . During the period described in the Edda , Odin and the aces entered the Alans community and lived in the multi-ethnic Scytho - Sarmatia . In Kopetdag there were cult centers dedicated to Ases , deified ancestors of the Parthians and Scandinavians. There, the Ases built Asgard and other mythological objects that Shcherbakov identified with several buildings of the Parthian kingdom in the area of the ancient settlements of Nisa and Mansurdepe . Modern archeology has so far refrained from determining the nature of the cult in Nis.
In 1991, Shcherbakov published the monograph “Asgard - the City of the Gods” (with a scientific supplement [7] ). Because of the first, mythical part, the book is often ranked as a genre of esoteric fiction . This book was reviewed by Doctor of Historical Sciences V. A. Nevezhin and Doctor of Philology, Professor of Ethnography B. V. Sokolov . Doctor of historical sciences, professor, academician of the RAS V. I. Zhukov advised on the second scientific part of the book.
In these works, the author described [8] the Idawell Field (aces playing field), similar to a small airfield with the remains of an adobe fence, found out the nature of the aces playing with gypsum balls and a core of dry grass, described in detail in the Nart epic [ 9] . He established [8] [10] the location and internal view of Valhalla , the castle of the main god-ace Odin , where feasts were held, as well as his treasury, filled with ritons and sealed by priests in antiquity, and a huge winery [11] .
The trees of the radiant grove Glasir described in Edda, all leaves, branches and bark of which are made of pure gold, the author identified with “purple peach ”, a special kind of peach tree with leaves of the color of pure gold, growing only in Central Asia [12] .
Shcherbakov’s books contain ancient tamgas and runes depicted on the rocks of Mongolia. In his opinion, they are repeated with minor changes in the historical monuments of Iceland . The author called these runes "runes of the gods."

North of the Black Sea is Great, or Cold Sweden / Scythia Note. /. Some believe that Great Sweden / Scythia / is no less than the Great Country of Saracen, and some equate it with the Great Country of Black People. The northern part of Sweden is deserted due to frost and cold, as the southern part of the Black People Land is deserted due to the heat of the sun. There are many large areas in Sweden. There are also many different peoples and languages. There are giants and dwarfs, and black people, and many different amazing peoples. There are also huge animals and dragons. From the north from the mountains, which are outside the inhabited places, a river flows through Sweden, the correct name of which is Tanais / Don — note. /. It used to be called Tanakvisl, or Vanakvisl. It flows into the Black Sea. The area at its mouth was then called the Country of the Vanes, or the Residence of the Vanes. This river divides thirds of the world. The one to the east is called Asia, and the one to the west is called Europe.
The country in Asia east of Tanakwisl / Don / is called the Country of Ases, or the Dwelling of Ases, and the capital of the country was called Asgard. The ruler there was the one who was called Odin.

“Mention of trees with red leaves can also be found in Soviet publications devoted to trees and shrubs. True, for some reason they disappeared from many botanical atlases of the sixties and eighties, but in F. L. Schepotiev’s Dendrology you can find a rather detailed description of them (M. — L., 1949, p. 193). ”
